Why Should You Clean Your Grout?

Why should you clean your grout? It’s simple: dirty grout is unsanitary. Of course, dirty grout lines are also unsightly, but they’re also loaded with germs. Grout is a porous substance, which  easily absorbs liquids, dirt, crumbs, debris, and more. The grout can be loaded with bacteria.

Your floor grout lines come in contact with so many things including your bare feet, shoes, socks, paw prints, chemicals, food, makeup, and more. If you don’t have a grout sealant and a proper grout cleaner, these grout lines will become stained, and even smell bad! Bacteria and other germs can be living deep in the grout because it hasn’t properly been cleaned.

To truly clean your grout, you need a proper grout cleaner and sealer. These products will make your grout clean and fresh while restoring it to its original color. You don’t want to have yourself or a loved one come in contact with an unsanitary floor or space. Even the bathroom grout lines can easily absorb and harbor germs, mold, and bacteria. Don’t risk your health! Clean your grout right!

Dirty grout can be very difficult to clean and keep clean. Every substance is deeply absorbed.  With the right grout cleaner and sealer, this process becomes a lot easier. You can spend less time and money cleaning the grout, and more time enjoying your beautiful home and loved ones.

So, how should you clean your grout lines? First, sweep the floor to remove any loose dirt or debris on the surface of the tiles and grout. Next, apply Grout Shield’s Grout and Tile Cleaner. Use a mop to distribute the cleaner over the entire floor. Allow the grout cleaner to saturate into the grout for 10 to 15 minutes, then scrub the area with a grout or bristle brush. After you scrub the dirt away, use a clean rag to wipe away any remaining grout cleaner.

After you clean the grout with the cleaner, it’s time to use Grout Shield’s sealers to protect the grout from getting dirty, stained and germ-filled again.
